Thanks for reaching out to us! Really happy to see that the issue is being adressed.
I can confirm, no save file is in read only mode. Just tried to create offline characters in cycle and legacy mode. Both chars have not been saved and dont appear in the login screen, so the problem is still there.
When I created the char, the 1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_7 file was created/editet, although there are 8 files of this type in my folder, e.g. 1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_1 to …_BETA_7.
When logging out the only save file that got edited was STASH_CYCLE_3_0
There is only STASH_CYCLE_3_0, STASH_CYCLE_3_0.bak and STASH_CYCLE_3_0_TAB_0
also STASH_CYCLE_3_1 and STASH_CYCLE_3_1_TAB_0 but no STASH_CYCLE_3_0.bak file in my save folder.
/Edit: also the STASH_CYCLE_1_0 and STASH_CYCLE_2_0 are missing completely
/Edit 2: I never touched my Save Folder, the only thing I did was renaming my #
1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_0
1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_0.bak
to
1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_8
1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_8.bak
as JeroyLenkins suggested. This operation seems to have created a copy of my falconeer.
Logged in after not playing for a couple of days and my charters were gone. Both seasonal and legacy. They were on the server. One would think they are safe there. So many hours invested gone. I don’t know if I want to play anymore. I would not recommend anyone seriously invest time in this game until they fix it. Player be aware.
There is a current service outage (but can often still log in, and see characters missing)… when they say the problems are done, all characters should be showing again that were saved online.
I have given up on playing this cycle. Like a week or more into the cycle and they still have not resolved this issue or gotten back to me with an ETA or even any info that they know what the problem is. It’s been days since they even sent correspondence on my ticket.
The fact that it’s been this long for such a serious bug and they seem incapable of addressing it has really caused me to lose faith in EHG. Who wants to spend dozens of hours only to have it wiped away in an instant? No thanks. I already have limited playtime so I value my time too much to have it wasted.
Did you have anything else in the folder at all after moving all of your old files? Because I completely moved everything to a new folder within that folder. Having any files from previous cycles was causing issues as well for me; I think it causes conflicts because it can’t separate cycle from legacy or something, but if you hadn’t tried, try doing it with a folder that has no files in it, just your folder for your old files.
NO. This is NOT fixed. I just got a reply on my ticket today (been 2 weeks of this so far) and was told there still is no fix for this but it’s coming in a future patch but still no ETA on when. Kind of ludicrous that save file integrity isn’t a huge priority and it could go on for weeks without resolution. As much as I love LE I think I’m done with this game for a while. Not going to play a game where my progress can just randomly be lost and the devs don’t seem bothered to fix it promptly. Seems they don’t value players time very much.
I did have further files in the folder. I actually would like to keep and play my legacy chars, so moving them all doesn’t feel like a proper solution to me. But thank you so much for reaching out and trying to help!
i have only lost one character on this game and just happens to be the first one i played, im hesitant to create a new one as i dont want to lose the character after spending so much time playing. i may just wait till all the bugs are worked out. i still havnt been able to even play online. the steam app dosen’t ask at the start of the game…
I agree. im just getting into this game and i already lost a lvl 42 sorc. i really do like the game but will probably not play until the save file will not erase characters
Just got an email today from EHG stating that “they haven’t heard from me” and if I don’t respond they will “assume my issue is resolved and close the ticket”. This is after the last email a few days ago that said the issue is not resolved yet and there is no ETA for when this will be patched. It’s almost as if they have no clue what is going on. I have already given up on playing LE for this cycle (if not longer) but they sure aren’t doing anything to renew my faith in them.
I love the game, but I have to admit, the way this issue is handled, feels like a major letdown. Would be nice to have a statement from EHG. We are talking about a bug that makes the game totally unplayable in offline mode.
I’m going to be honest…that meager statement doesn’t give me much confidence. It’s like one line and makes it sound like they aren’t even sure if it fixes the issue or they are downplaying the problem or something. “fixed an error leading to reports”? If they found the bug that was causing this why wouldn’t they say “fixed a bug/error causing characters no tto be saved” or something similar. The way that is worded seems like they haven’t reproduced the issue or maybe haven’t found the root cause and are just speculating at a potential fix? Maybe I’m reading too much into it but that one line isn’t filling me with much confidence after weeks of nothing. Also, there have been reports of this happening with online characters as well so the fact that they are only calling out offline characters is also concerning. Think I will just pass on LE and go back to PoE for the foreseeable future until I have more confidence in LE.
